Yugioh: Season 1

The Ties of Friendship

"Now listen to me, Rebecca." Yugi tries to explain to her. "I'm only going to say this one more time. Our grandpa didn't steal your Blue Eyes White Dragon."

"Because if you really knew him like we do, the only thing our grandpa would physically steal is one of his favorite cookies after I take them out of the oven." said Paige. "How else can we stressed that enough?"

"You're both lying!" shouted Rebecca. "He did! He did! He did steal it! It was my grandpa's favorite, and your grandpa took it from him. You won't get away with this, you thieves!"

"Well..." said Paige as Yugi groans. "there goes the honor of our family name."

"I wouldn't go that far yet, Paige." said Tristan.

"Yugi can still beat her." said Joey.

"Let's hope so before I lose my temper." she said, crossing her arms.

"Rebecca...." said Grandpa.

"Now what?" she asked, rudely.

"There's a story that you need to hear, Rebecca." he tells her. "It's the story of how I met your grandfather Professor Arthur Hawkins, and of the danger we faced together."

"In other words, more of your lies! Forget it!" said Rebecca.

"No, it's true." said Grandpa. "And be assured, it was one of the most frightening experiences I've had in my entire life."

"I'm so sure." scoffed Rebecca.

"It happened years ago, but it's an adventure I'll never forget." Grandpa said as he begins the story.

[Flashback]

"I had traveled to Egypt to participate in an archaeological dig." said Grandpa as he, Professor Hawkins and others were at the dig site. "A brand new discovery had been made not far from the great pyramids."

Men were using pickaxes to get through the dirt.

"We all wondered what ancient Egyptian secrets would soon be unearthed." said Grandpa.

As the men worked diligently, Grandpa was sitting in the blistering heat, wiping his brow. He then takes out his water canteen.

"The desert was hotter and drier than I expected, so it was fortunate that I soon made a friend."

Hoping to take a sip of water, Grandpa finds that his water canteen was empty. Suddenly, Professor Hawkins walks over with his water canteen and hands it to him.

"You look like you could use some cool water." said Professor Hawkins.

"How can I thank you?" Grandpa asked, taking the canteen and having some water.

"I guzzled it down a little too quickly." said Grandpa.

Just then, Grandpa starts coughing from drinking down the water too fast.

"But my new friend, Professor Arthur Hawkins, was just amused at my enthusiasm. He was a kind and very brilliant man."

[Flashback ends]

"But in his field of archaeology, he was viewed as an extremely radical thinker." Grandpa explained.

"How come?" asked Tea and Paige.

"His theories. He believed that Duel Monsters may have played some mysterious part in Egyptian history." Grandpa explained.

"Huh?"

"Am I right, Rebecca?" questioned Grandpa.

"I don't understand, Grandpa." said Yugi.

"Neither do I." said Paige.
